Andhra Pradesh: Amalapuram violence a handiwork of YSRCP, alleges Pawan Kalyan

Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan has claimed that that the miscreants involved in arson at Amalapuram were acting at the behest of some YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders.

“The violence over renaming Konaseema district was a conspiracy aimed at diverting the people’s attention from the government’s unpopularity among the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and the murder of driver of ruling party MLC A.S. Uday Bhaskar,” said Mr. Pawan Kalyan.

Renaming Konaseema district after Dr. B.R. Ambedkar would have been a smooth affair, had it been done at the time of publishing the gazette notification for all new districts after the reorganisation exercise.
